The only problem with the meeting: The doors to get inside City Hall were locked. I just happened to stumble in City Hall by catching the eye of some poor employee and begging him to let me in. When the meeting reconvened from a closed door meeting to an open door meeting, staff members said they checked and saw no members of the public there. I wonder if they unlocked the door and poked their heads to look outside in the pouring rain.

But I’m sure no one was there. After all, who really cares about a city clerk, other than the annoying people – such as myself – who make repeated records requests.
